' 20 August. It' s one of my life' s regrets that I have never kept a donkey. ' Alan Bennett' s 1983 diary was the first that he published in the London Review of Books, though by then he' d already been keeping one for about ten years. ' Besides the occasional incident that seems worth recording,' he wrote, ' I put down gossip and notes on work and reading. ' This modest model has remained intact right up to the present, as Bennett has ascended to ever higher planes of national admiration and affection, and his much-loved LRB diary entries - which have come to be seen as a sort of alternative Queen' s Speech - approach their ruby jubilee. This beautifully produced week-to-view diary for 2023, illustrated by Jon McNaught and equipped with a clutch of useful features, contains a celebratory selection of some of his most immortal anecdotes and observations: one entry for each week of the year, and a new introduction by Bennett, reflecting on a life well-recorded.
Alan Bennett has been a leading dramatist since Beyond the Fringe in the 1960s. His works include Talking Heads, The Lady in the Van, the Oscar-nominated The Madness of George III, The History Boys, the PEN/Ackerley Prize-winning Untold Stories and, more recently, Keeping On, Keeping On.
